On October 31, 2008, Qwest filed a request to modify the Jurisdictional Report Requirements in Section 2, by establishing a Percent Interstate Usage (PIU) floor for unidentified Feature Group D (FGD) terminating traffic. Terminating FGD traffic that does not contain sufficient call detail to identify the jurisdiction (unidentified traffic) will be assigned jurisdiction as follows:

• The first 5% of unidentified terminating traffic will continue to be jurisdictionally assigned based on the carrier's PIU report or, if the carrier has not filed a PIU report, a PIU of 50 (50% interstate – 50% intrastate) will be assigned per the current terms in Section 2.3.10.B.2.c.

• Unidentified traffic in excess of the 5% floor will be designated intrastate traffic and charged at Qwest's current South Dakota rates.

There is no change to currently effective rates. Notification has been sent to customers. Qwest is requesting that the proposed tariff revisions become effective on December 1, 2008. On November 21, 2008, AT&T Communications of the Midwest, Inc. filed a Petition for Intervention and a Request to Suspend Qwest's proposed revisions to Tariff Section 2 pending a hearing on the matter. MCI Communications Services, Inc. d/b/a Verizon Business Services, the Local Exchange Carriers Association, and Level 3 Communications, LLC filed Petitions for Intervention on November 21, 2008.

TODAY, shall the Commission Grant Intervention to Any Parties that May have Filed? AND, shall the Commission Suspend the Proposed Tariff Revisions Pursuant to SDCL 49-31-12.4?
